Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics : Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media Paperback / softback
by William M.R. Simpson
Part of the Springer Theses series
Paperback / softback
Description
Despite more than half a century of theoretical work, the Casimir effect is still not as fully understood as some suppose.
In this treatise, the author uncovers new puzzles and paradoxes concerning this mysterious phenomenon.
In particular, he clearly demonstrates that the most sophisticated theories fail when confronted with dielectrics in which the refractive index is not uniform but gradually changes.
